I want to know why he is limping because he started limping suddenly with his right front paw but his back injury has kind of been slowly getting worse for the last week

My dog has a wound between his shoulder blades and he isnt moving his hind legs, he's holding his body very stiff but he's eating and drinking normally when fed by hand, but he seems to be having difficulty breathing

My vet says that my dogs sudden inability to walk correctly in his back end is spinal trauma. Since my dog can still urinate and poop and also walk, does he have a chance to recover?

My aunt bet my dog a bit harder on its back just above the tail due to his naughtiness. Will this cause paralysis to my dog.

My dachshund will be 12 years old this July. He has a history of seizures which are well controlled with keppra and gabapentin. In 2017 he had a very bad seizure that left him in severe back/neck pain. He was able to stand and very rigidly ambulate. We took him to his regular vet and he was started on tramadol, methocarbamol, and a steroid (forget if it was decadron or pred) and crate rest. He did not seem to be getting any more comfortable so we brought him to a neurologist. He had an MRI and was diagnosed with IVDD. They kept him inpatient for a few days to control his pain with IV meds (steroids/opioids) and also added amitriptyline to his med regimen to help with anticipatory pain and neuropathy. We then started him on laser therapy. Opting not to have surgery at this time. Well a few months of this and all was well. He was no longer in pain, you could see his muscle spasms (in his neck) subside, and he could get around just fine. Sometimes his back legs were a little stiff but he didnt seem to mind, He would bark if he wanted to go up the stairs or get air lifted onto the couch. Well.... fast forward to this week. I found him off of the bed and laying on the dog bed on the floor in the morning which would never happen because he generally waits for you to lift him off the bed... and he was not able to walk or stand. He could wag is tail and move his head a bit but could not stand. Brought him to his neurologist they gave him decadron and methadone injection. We went home with decadron, valium, and an increase in the frequency of his gabapentin. However, he did not improve at all and subsequently became in visible severe pain. Kept calling the neuro specialist but with the limitation with COVID I couldn't schedule an MRI and did not want to bring my dog over an hour away in pain in the car if I was not sure if he would be seen. Finally found a different neurologist. He had an MRI and subsequent ventral slot surgery for C4-C5. The vet said it went well but the spinal cord is still very inflamed and bruised. My pup is home now on tramadol 25mg TID, robaxin 125mg TID, gabapentin 100mg BID, Keppra 125mg BID, and decadron 0.5mg QAM. He still cannot hold himself up whatsoever and does not attempt to. It seems that his pain is controlled and he has been having a bowel movement every few days and peeing at least once a day on the wee wee pad he is lying on. Then i wash the area. I try to flip him from laying on one side to the other side every few hours. I youtubed PROM exercises to try to move him around a little bit. Is there anything else I should be doing? Unfortunately, with the nature of the healthcare environment right a lot of aftercare services like PT and laser therapy are not available. Any signs that I should be watching out for him? Any indicators of deterioration or improvement? He still as an appetite and is drinking with the help of an oral syringe.

Spinal She lifts one leg up when walking , then all of a sudden she like gets a shock and shoots forward running and yelping in pain , and can’t understand why or who has hurt her . Now she is traumatised and won’t go outside unless she is right by you , and no longer wants to go to the toilet as she associates going outside with pain . X Ray shows small area between pelvis has a mark ? But no fractures . She pants and shakes when distressed usually when she goes outside or wants to go toilet .

We have a 21 month old 7/8 German Shepard (GSD). Other than being about 20 lbs smaller than most the vet said she appears full blooded. About a week ago, after my dog came in from using the restroom, we noticed her favoring her left hip. We didn't think a lot about it other than maybe she had a sore muscle from jumping onto the porch or something. I am 5 foot 2 in our back porch comes up to my hip. After about 3 days she began swing her lower half around when she walked and would occasionally fall over. I then called the vet and brought her in. After x-rays they said nothing was broken but there was a small narrowing of her spinal cord near her coccyx most likely due to inflammation. We were told that there may be some cartilage damage or a hematoma that they can't see. We were told there's nothing to be highly concerned about. That her brain and her spinal cord are not communicating like they should. After three days we brought her home, with instructions from the vet to do bicycle type exercises with her and to try to get her to walk as much as possible. Since we have gotten her home from the vet she has been urinating and defecating on herself. We just got her back yesterday. We were told she should be walking like a person after 4 tequilas within three weeks and it can take six months or longer but she should make a full recovery. My concern is that doing therapy before she is healed my cause further damage.. she has also begin to get cold easy and sugar to where we can hear her teeth chattering. I don't know if this could be from pain or medication.

I was throwing the ball for my dog, how I usually do, when all of a sudden, he got to the ball, reached down for it and it seemed like his hind legs gave out from underneath him, with his hind quarters dropping to the ground. He yelped in pain for a good 20-30 seconds, dragging himself 20 feet or so to my rv. Now he drags his right hind leg, he has been licking the area where his ACL tendon would be, but has some level of soreness in his lower back near his tail and doesn't want me to touch him there. I think I've narrowed down his injury to either a slipped disc or a torn ligament, just not sure which, maybe a combination of the two if such a thing is possible? He is urinating/ defecating ok and wags his tail...

My brother's husky is about 5 years old, super slim (she was eating special high protein dog food to help her gain weight), very active, happy. About a month ago my brother was outside playing fetch with the dog when she accidentally ran into the swings and got tangled. I wasn't there for the incident but he said she fell on her head/neck and he noticed the second she fell she did not move at all, he thought she died on the spot. He went over and noticed she was alive but clearly not moving anything so he stabilized her on a board and brought her to the vet. They told her she has spinal cord swelling. This has left the entire right side of her body in a paralyzed state. For a few days after the accident her right eye was droopy, and she couldn't put any weight on her right legs. But after about 5-7 days she was able to sit up (with a bit of help) and the eye droop was gone. A couple more days later she was able to stand on her feet with a harness, but she didn't bear much weight or was able to move her legs really. She is now sore and cries more in pain from bed sores. Is there a chance that her swelling is going down and she will be somewhat mobile again? Are there little things we can do to keep her comfortable? Please help
